Dramatic, Diplomatic and a severe case of voyeurism.

About Me

I am the biggest fan of special effects makeup you will find. In the industry, I am known as a squid. (ok fine maybe half a step up) I live vicariously through my wife who actually works as a special effects makeup artist/fabricator. She can be found here. She has a few more credits now. Like "Flags of our Fathers", "The Assasination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" and "No Country for Old Men".
I run the special effects website NE-FX.com and recently opened my makeup fx supply business at Warehouse51.com

My Interests

Graphic art, Web page design, my online business, technical support, my dog, anime, witing interviews, inventing things, money making ideas, writing screenplays.

Movies:

Any special effects movie I can enjoy. Put it like this...if the movie's selling point is that it has a "really good story", I'm out.

Television:

Recently shut down my dish..so nothing right now.

Books:

Current read: Looking for that next good book right now.

Heroes:

My heroes are the same as most people...the ones nobody needs until you need them. Firefighters, Police, Teachers, Sex Therapists...the usual...

Went to Gym alone this time...Very different.

This time, I went back by myself, I wondered if the experience would be the same...and found myself fretting interacting with the trainer who was trying to sell me last time.  Like crack dealers,...

Just joined a Gym

I just joined a local gym that just opened.  It's a small place, Very affordable, good trainers.  They kicked my butt.  I have rediscovered pain.
